    "Back to supply chains (although if you are a builder of commercial space then Interface is probably in your supply chain). A recent Environmental Leader article discussed a survey of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) regarding their attitudes towards suppliers (supply chain) that do not manage their carbon. These are real companies in the survey (like PepsiCo, Dell, Google, IBM, Kellogg, HP and Unilever.) The results are enlightening. Over 1000 suppliers to these companies were surveyed. Survey reported that 38% of the supply chain respondents have some type of carbon reduction targets in place. Of these respondents, almost two thirds report Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission. Scope 3 emissions are reported by 8%. Strikingly, 56% of the CDP members (remember the big companies listed above?) say that they may eliminate suppliers who don't manage carbon."

shared by ISM Silicon Valley on 06 May 10 - Cached
  • This headline-grabbing story gives you some idea of how important purchasing can be. Buying right doesn’t necessarily mean buying cheapest. However, dollars saved by adroit purchasing add to the bottom line the same as profit on sales. Some entrepreneurs find purchasing a tedious chore and often overpay. Many will delegate these jobs to someone else—perhaps a person with little enthusiasm for the job he may think that to negotiate a better price is a Middle Eastern bazaar-like custom.
